Walker Of The Worlds

Another hour had passed since the elders had sealed up the cauldron and by now popping sounds could be heard from inside the cauldron.

It was as if one was making popcorn in a pressure cooker as the sounds continued nonstop. Lin Mu could also see that the cauldron was lightly trembling because of the pressure that had built up inside it.

"It… it won't explode, right?" Lin Mu questioned.

"That will depend on their skill. If they miss the correct moment of opening the cauldron, they will mess up. If they open it too early, the pill will not congeal successfully and a part of its efficacy will be lost.

While if they open it too late, the cauldron will not be able to bear the pressure and then explode. Seeing as this cauldron is a mid grade spirit too, it is already a miracle that it has been able to bear it till now." Xukong answered.

Lin Mu could do nothing but nod his head and continue observing. He actually wasn't worried about getting injured as he was inside the ground, but rather about the other people of the compound getting alerted due to the explosion.

If the explosion happened, it was likely that the people will gather to check up on the elders and even the peak master Yi Deng may appear.

And then to check the situation, what will they do?

They'll use their spirit sense, of course, which would still be fine if it was the core disciples, but if it was the peak master Yi Deng there was a chance that Lin Mu would be discovered.

This was all just a paranoid guesswork from Lin Mu, but it was this very caution which had been saving him till now and preventing him from falling into a desperate situation. It was this very caution which allowed him to kill the Great Slumber bear and escape from Gu Yao.

There was no chance that he would ignore this.
